Chapter 486 Prologue
At 1:30 in the afternoon, Chen Chuan and four others arrived at the ticket gate in front of the door. The ticket inspector told them that they had second-class tickets and needed to wait until 3 o'clock when the show officially started before they could enter.
"We have to wait another hour." Pan Xiaode muttered.
Tan Zhi was also helpless. He didn't buy the ticket, but it was given to him by his instructor, Teacher Wei. After all, the seats were limited and the ticket was very hard to get. It was good enough to get one.
At this moment, most of the people in the square were spectators waiting outside like them. Only those who were obviously high-ranking officials and dignitaries did not need to wait and walked directly into the VIP channel.
Chen Chuan then remembered the ticket that Counselor Pei had given him. It seemed different from the one Tan Zhi had shown him, so he took it out and looked at it. He said, "I have a few tickets here too. A friend gave them to me a few days ago. Take a look."
Tan came over to take a look, his eyes lighting up, and said, "It's a first-class ticket." He excitedly said to Pan Xiaode and Qi Huixin, "Then we don't need to wait outside the barrier ropes, we can go in directly."
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "That's good. I thought I wouldn't need it."
Tan Zhi and the other two were very happy. Not only could they enter the venue early, but they could also watch the show from the private room inside. This was much better than the original one.
The four people squeezed out of the crowd and came to another ticket gate. After showing their tickets, they walked along the VIP passage. Once inside, there was a special waiter to lead the way and take them to the box.
When passing by the hall, the high-ranking officials and company executives who had come in earlier were gathered in groups of three or five, talking and discussing there.
These people came not only to watch the musical, but also regarded this place as a large social venue. When they saw these young people with outstanding temperament walk in, they thought they were the young descendants of some high-ranking official and noble family, and cast their glances at them from time to time.
However, the fighters following them all tensed up at the same time.
A government official noticed the abnormality of the consultant next to him and asked, "Lao Liu, what's wrong?"
Old Liu whispered, "Councilor Ai, those young men were all fighters."
Councillor Ai took a few glances and said admiringly, "Really? They're all very outstanding young people."
Martial arts are popular all over the world nowadays. Even if they cannot become real fighters, the middle and upper classes will hire one or two fighting teachers for their children. Among them, there will inevitably be many talented people, so it is not surprising that there are a few fighters among young people.
Old Liu said with a serious expression, "Councilor Ai, the leader among them might be a third-level fighter, and he poses a strong threat to me."
"Really?"
Councilman Ai was a little surprised. He suppressed his smile, looked around, and said, "Send someone to check. Remember not to make too much noise."
The public security in Weiguang District is very good, and generally no one dares to cause trouble. However, vicious incidents have occurred frequently recently, and they are promoting certain security proposals, which should not be ignored.
Old Liu nodded, "Yes."
As soon as Chen Chuan and his three companions arrived at the door of the box, internal security personnel came up to inquire about them. However, they were all very polite. After all, those who could come here were not ordinary people, so they tried not to offend them.
Chen Chuan showed his name badge, and the security guard immediately verified his identity through the border pass, saluted solemnly, and said, "Captain Chen, sorry to bother you, I wish you a pleasant viewing."
Tan Zhi and the other two didn't realize it just now when they were outside, but now they could clearly feel that Chen Chuan was completely different from them. In addition to his personal fighting ability, there was also a difference in status.
Although given their backgrounds, they usually come into contact with middle and upper class people and it is nothing special, but Chen Chuan is considered to be their peer, so the feeling is completely different.
And they knew that Chen Chuan's background was not as good as theirs, and that he had achieved all of this through his own hard work, and they couldn't help but feel deep admiration and envy in their hearts.
Councilman Ai also received a report from the security personnel. He was a little surprised. "The executive captain of the processing bureau? So young?" He wondered whose family he was from, but as long as his identity was no problem, it would be fine.
After Chen Chuan and others entered the box, they sat down on the comfortable seats. From where they stood, they could see the entire stage, which was a very good view.
There is also a small bar and beverage display cabinet. There is a separate waiter outside each private room door who can provide various catering services at any time.
At this moment, in the box opposite, you can see people coming in and out from time to time, shaking hands and chatting, and some people nodding and greeting this side.
Pan Xiaode curled his lips. He didn't like such occasions. When he was a child, what he hated most was being taken to various parties.
After joining Wuyi College, he rarely had such worries, especially after he and Qi Huixin had plastic surgery to look like brother and sister. His family members always looked unhappy when they saw him, and he was happy to have some peace and quiet.
Chen Chuan drank the hot drink slowly. He logged onto the theater's platform, where there were many recordings of past song and dance performances and dramas. Of course, this was not as effective as watching them live.
But there was still plenty of time, so he planned to take a look at it casually.
At this moment, the noise in a private room suddenly became louder. A young man was seen yelling at a middle-aged man who was dressed very smartly, which attracted the attention of people in other private rooms.
Pan Xiaode took a look and said, "Hey, isn't this that kid Lu Miao?"
Tan Zhi immediately asked, "Do you know each other?"
Pan Xiaode said, "I'm not familiar with him. I've met him a few times. His father is the deputy director of the Security and Defense Department. He started practicing martial arts before us and is usually very proud of it. The person he was yelling at must be his cousin Bao Yun, his father's assistant."
Chen Chuan took a look and found that the Urban Security and Defense Department was theoretically the superior department of the Urban Patrol and Handling Bureau. The head of the department was directly responsible to the mayor and had a very high rank, so he could be considered his superior.
From what the two men said, it seemed that Director Lu had arrested someone, and Lu Miao asked his cousin to release the person. However, even if the latter could really do so, he would not do it in public on this occasion.
At this time, the security personnel in the theater quickly stepped forward and carried the person out.
Assistant Bao also seemed to be embarrassed. He apologized to the people around him and followed them out to deal with the matter. As the two left, bursts of discussion were heard in various boxes.
About ten minutes before the official opening of the musical, Chen Chuan noticed that the noise outside had grown louder, and then a very graceful old man and a woman dressed solemnly and elegantly walked in arm in arm.
The old man was wearing an imported suit. Although he looked quite old, he walked steadily and had a bright look in his eyes. As soon as he entered the room, everyone in the box stood up and applauded to greet him.
The old man waved to the people around him. Chen Chuan noticed that the figure who walked in almost at the same time as the two of them was Chen Bitong, whom he had met before at the fusion place.
When he looked over, Chen Bitong also looked over. After their eyes met, he nodded at him. Chen Chuan also nodded in return.
Tan Zhi said, "That's Speaker Quan and his wife, right?"
Pan Xiaode noticed Chen Chuan's gaze and asked curiously, "Mr. Chen, the person next to him seems very powerful. Do you know him?"
Chen Chuan said: "I met him not long ago."
After Speaker Quan exchanged a few words with the people who were waiting there, he went to the second-level box in the middle, which was the best seat in the whole venue.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Chen Chuan no longer paid attention to Chen Bitong. Instead, he put on the badge required to watch the musical and waited quietly for the musical to begin.
After a few minutes, the bright light curtains around dimmed, and only the light on the stage was lit, revealing a green wilderness with undulating terrain.
It is worth mentioning that the scenery is not entirely realized through the boundary. The close view uses a combination of real objects and lights, and only the distant view is presented through the boundary.
After waiting for a while, a faint female voice came out, as if it came from the wilderness, rising from the heart, and seemed to be able to move people's souls.
Chen Chuan could sense a spiritually influencing force within this, but judging from the singer's aura, he did not appear to possess any martial power.
This does not mean that only fighters can practice spiritual cultivation. Many religious people in the old days took this path. However, unlike fighters, their spirits are usually superficial and not cohesive, and they do not have any substantial power. However, in certain specific situations, they can cause certain spiritual infection and resonance.
What is in front of you should be the prologue, where a mute shepherdess picked up a down-and-out knight. This chapter is the beginning of the whole article, which is also the first part of the divine song.
Chen Chuan listened carefully, but unfortunately, he didn't know whether it was because of the singer or the language barrier, but he couldn't hear anything special from it.
However, according to the introduction, the content of the songs will be progressively improved according to the plot, with more content presented towards the end. The most essential part of the whole play is in the second half, when the conflict reaches its most intense moment. In this case, he is very much looking forward to what comes next.
Amid the singing, a young woman with long platinum hair walked onto the stage. She wore a windproof hat and a multi-layered skirt that fell to her ankles. Her face was a little dirty, but her light green eyes were very impressive, reminding people of the extremely clear lake water.
According to the established play, the shepherdess came on stage and came under a tree. She parted the grass and found the down-and-out knight lying on the ground.
It seemed to be a young man wearing old armor, and the firm lines on his exposed chin could be seen.
But at this moment, Chen Chuan felt something strange. He tried to turn off the boundary, but didn't see anything wrong. When he used his second self to block all external field information and looked again, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. That was not a young man at all, but just a hollow suit of armor.
